If you have the money in cash isn't that just as good as bank statement? Asking for future visa for me

does not meet the specific requirements for the Visa as asked for by the Thai Embassy in Hanoi. If they want to see bank statements... then show them. Not cash.

no, they wanted 3 bank statements showing you've got the balance on hand. Now, that's just the Hanoi consulate, other places will vary.Tod *********
Always CHECK the website of the thai consulate you're going to go to for your visa BEFORE you show up there to apply for one. The Embassys/Consulates have wide latitude as far as the requirements they ask for for the different visa types

if that's what's on their website then those are the requirements to get the visa issued from them 😕
and in checking their website it IS clearly posted under tourist visa requirements

showing that there's $850 in the account is one thing, having 3 months of bank statements is another. He was prepared with 1 bank statement. We didn't know we needed the money sitting there for 3 months.Rene ******
OPHCMC is also scheduling appointments out about 6 weeks currently.

@Rene *****
did you say it wasn't on the website and ask if you could apply for the visa anyway? OR did they just send you away? 😕Rene ******
OP@Tod ********
hubby was flying solo on this since I had to be back at work this morning. I don't think he pushed back simply because he has a hard time keeping those details straight...he left and messaged me for next steps.Tod *********
@Rene *****
yep I can see how that might be a problem seeing as it is not mentioned that you needed 3 months of previous balance history. The HCMC thai consulate says 6 months of 20K balance

Thank you for your helpful report.
It's important to review the requirements for a VISA on the Thai Embassy websites prior to making an application for a VISA.

we did carefully review the requirements. Unfortunately "evidence of bank balance" clearly meant something different to that particular officer. I shared the specific request for evidence they made in the hope that it would help others. We thought one month's bank statement would be sufficient to demonstrate adequate funds.James ********
@Rene *****
hopefully your husband is able to print out three months of bank account balance statements... and submit it for his tourist visa.Both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City Thai Embassy or Consulate have been very helpful for expats to obtain a Visa.

we've got a plan for moving forward, thankfully. It involves, among other things, moving to a country with friendlier visa policies in September.James ********
@Rene *****
thank you for your reply. ALSO Note :"Consular officers reserve the right to request additional documents as deemed necessary."

absolutely fair. I just wish they were more specific about bank statement requirements etc.Activity
